A little History about Drakes Silversmiths Drakes Silversmiths of 49 Brewer Street, London W1, was a firm of hotel and restaurant silver-plate furnishers, supplying meat wagons etc. To domestic and foreign markets: Founded just before the mid-20th century by Harry Drake they soon started designing and building Drakes Carving Trolleys. Silver-plate and wood and all silver-plate versions were designed and built. Harrys son, Donald, joined the firm in the 1950s.
